completely unrelated, but I have my prom coming up and I just wanted to unload everything I was thinking. I just got my dress, and I jist feel so fat. I used to be so skinny when I was younger, anf then I developed an eating disorder for a year where I barely ate anything everday, like a bite of an apple for a whole day. Then, it escalated for the next two years and I started binge eating and gained 15 pounds. I want to look good for my prom, but I've tried so many different methods and I can't find any ways to change my binge. Once I start, I can't stop until I want to throw up. I want to get fit for my prom day, but im not sure what to do. it feels so bad, but I want to go on ozempic, but I'm worried it will harm my body. Idk if anyone replies, but SHSJHSJ I just wanna look good yk

    I forgot where I read it but ozempic can lessen your bone density, so it will be harder to exercise later in life. But for the binge eating I think either chewing a lot of gum or distracting yourself would be a good option. Chewing gum whenever you feel like eating, yes it will make you even more hungry but it will help your stomach to digest the food that you already have, you can even make it a habit if you do it long enough. Or distracting yourself, I always forget to eat whenever I'm studying or reading manga so try doing that.
    The gum part is something I read on reddit btw.

    Don't really know how to be comforting but an advice is to find clothes you're comfortable with wearing. Then work on your confidence as that's majority of it. Even if you have to stand Infront of a mirror everyday and give compliments to yourself.

    The eating disorder comes from the mental health, the problem is how you think about yourself. Just think that you have a cup inside, and I'm sure you have someone you love dearly, like parents, siblings (even if they are annoying) or even pets and just think of the love that you give is the love that overflows from the cup inside you. So you can't fully love your dear someone if you can't love yourself fully. (Sorry if it didn't make sense)

    My college is so far from my home, it's on the other side of the world, so I can't watch my younger sisters grow anymore. So just enjoy your time rn, even if the college you choose is not far you will be out of their lives, your parents one day they will start to look more older than they look today, they will have a lot more wrinkles. Even if you don't go to pursue higher education (idk about your situation so I don't want to assume) it will be the same.

    So just start enjoying the moment because it's not infinite time that you will get to spend with your family. So even if you can't love yourself for the sake of yourself do it for your loving ones, and cherish the time that you have rn.
